My father is my biggest critic, My mother often thought said he was too hard, Yelling as if it was an angry music lyric, Pushing me to be the best, even it was cleaning the yard.
The standard was high to say the least, Pushing me to be something he never could, Working me in every aspect so I could be a beast, Functioning like a machine so I never would end up in the hood,
Although my father was tough, There was no doubt that he loved me with all his heart, Raising me so my life would not be rough, Now that I look back, I realize how he was smart
Never being satisfied was the motto, And never stop working until your account look like you won the lotto.
